  • Setting expectations for the rest of Seahawks season

    Eric Umphrey, The Times|Nov 25, 2021

    The Seahawks (3-7) will play in another Monday night football this week, traveling to Washington D.C. to play against Washington (4-6) at 5:15 p.m. Pacific Time. At the beginning of the season, this game looked like it would be an easy game on the schedule for Seattle. This game is essentially a toss-up according to oddsmakers, with some giving a slight edge to Washington since they are playing at home. Based on the information below, which quarterback would you rather have starting for your team? Quarterback CMP ATT PCT TD INT Sacks Player A...

  • Inside the matchup Seahawks vs. Saints

    Eric Umphrey, The Times|Oct 21, 2021

    The Seahawks (2-4) will host the New Orleans Saints (3-2) on Monday night football airing on ESPN at 5:15 pm. Last week, Seattle’s loss at Pittsburgh keeps them at the bottom of the NFC West and now four games behind the division-leading Arizona (6-0). It’s too early to say the playoffs are out of reach for this team, but any playoff hopes would likely come via a wild card as the division title is quickly becoming out of reach. Geno Smith didn’t play poorly last week, but two specific possessions, one in the fourth quarter and one in overt...

  • Inside the matchup Seahawks vs. Steelers

    Eric Umphrey, The Times|Oct 14, 2021

    Seattle (2-3) travels to Pittsburgh (2-3) this Sunday to play at 5:20 pm on NBC. This is the first game in Russell Wilson’s career that he will miss. Until now, he had played in 149 straight games to start his career. The injury is a ruptured tendon on the middle finger of his right hand, and the Seahawks don’t have a clear timetable for his return. According to ESPN, Wilson is expected to be out somewhere between four to six weeks. If it turns out to be only four weeks, Wilson will only miss three games since Seattle has a bye week in wee...

  • Inside the matchup Seahawks vs Rams

    Eric Umphrey, The Times|Oct 7, 2021

    This week, the Seahawks return home to host the Rams on Thursday, October 7, at 5:20 pm. This is the first week of the season where the Thursday night game is not exclusively on the NFL network. The game will also be shown on FOX as well as Amazon Prime this week. The Rams are coming off their first loss of the season to Arizona, who is the last undefeated team at 4-0. Seattle defeated the 49ers 28-21 despite playing a very poor first half. Even though Seattle is at home, they are a slight underdog in this game. Last season, the Seahawks went 1...

  • Inside the matchup Seahawks vs. 49ers

    Eric Umphrey, The Times|Sep 30, 2021

    Seattle is once again on the road this week. This time against a San Francisco team that lost to Green Bay last week in the game’s final seconds. The Seahawks (1-2) and 49ers (2-1) are looking up in the standings at the Rams and Cardinals, who are undefeated on the season but play each other next week. So, this is an excellent opportunity for one of these teams to improve in the division with a win. At quarterback for the 49ers is Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo played in only six games last season, missing several games with a high ankle sprain. H...

  • Inside the matchup Seahawks vs. Vikings

    Eric Umphrey, The Times|Sep 23, 2021

    Seattle travels to Minnesota this week to play the Vikings. After dropping a very winnable game last week against the Titans, the Seahawks are last place in the NFC West as other teams in their division have won both of their games. It’s a little too early to call this a must-win game, but with games against San Francisco and Los Angeles the following two weeks, Seattle can’t afford to lose any more ground in the standings. At quarterback for Minnesota is Kirk Cousins. He is thirty-three years old and in his fourth season with the Vikings aft...

  • Inside the matchup Seahawks vs. Titans

    Eric Umphrey, The Times|Sep 16, 2021

    This week Seattle hosts the Tennessee Titans in their first home game of the season. The early schedule for the Seahawks looks like a typical division one school’s three-game tune-up against junior colleges. Last week, the Seahawks won 28-16 against the Indianapolis Colts. It would be hard to find anything wrong with the previous week’s performance. Solid running game. Check. Russell Wilson accurate and in control. Check. New tight end fitting in seamlessly. Check. Dominating wide receivers. Check. Improved defensive play. Check. The Tit...

  • Inside the matchup Seahawks vs. Rams

    Eric Umphrey, Waitsburg Times|Nov 12, 2020

    This week Seattle travels to Los Angeles to play the Rams. The Rams are 5-3 so far this season, and a win at home against Seattle would put them into a first-place tie in the division with the Seahawks. Because they are at home, the Rams are a slight favorite to win this week. Unfortunately, this looks like another game that Russell Wilson will need to be close to perfect for giving Seattle a chance to win since Seattle's defense continues to be an injury-riddled mess. Jared Goff is the Rams qua...
